1.18 Version Support - An Update
After extensively reviewing the feedback received, as well as the discussion that was prompted by our recent version support update, we have decided to change course on this decision. We want to thank those that worded their arguments and feedback in a constructive and reasonable way.We will not be removing support for non-RenderDragon versions of the game until January 1st, 2023. At that time, we will re-evaluate this decision.We understand that the majority of those that remain on older versions do so because of issues with input delay, as well as performance issues. Both these issues are fully out of our control. As a Minecraft Partner, we voice the concerns our community has to Microsoft. However, this is in no way a replacement for using the bug tracker and other avenues of informing Minecraft's developers that you're affected by these issues.To prioritize these issues, consider upvoting them in the official bug tracker:Significant input delay on devices with Render DragonRender Dragon decreases performance by a lotAs mentioned, we will re-evaluate this decision at the start of next year. There may be multiple factors that lead us, or force us, to drop support at that point:
